I started LLDing in .09. There was a group of us that made characters under level 34, we didn't believe the White wand was fair.
My first "good" LLD, was a level 34 Fury Druid with an Eth Steeldriver Great Maul. Occasionally I'd 1-2 hit people.
White rings were such a problem, because level 9 sins would wreck all of us. It was 03-04 that the predecessor or LLD101 (I don't remember the name of the Clan) started getting popular and real LLDs were joining our shitty games.
My first 101 LLD was a level 29 conc barb. I never tried to perfect any LLD, I'd make them to a certain point and then move onto another project.
I had a slew of mediocre/good LLDs. I quit for a 6 months after my amazing LLD sin circ was stolen by my really good friend at the time.
In 05 I got really into MLD. The MLD community was small, like a total of 10-15 Duelers on West, but it was really competitive. I acquired my Zbug Shaft/Helm and won the MLD Ladder for Melee and Ranged (Conc/FB). I ended up selling my account to Skulls for cash since I was a broke college student at that time and quit D2.
In 2007, another LLD trading forum popped up. I don't remember the name, but it gave you a free HR when you joined and more after so many posts. You'd also get free HRs if you posted guides or were helpful. Stealing LLD101 guides as his own to get free HRs is what got Spin. banned from LLD101. I made my LLD Cleric that year and participated in daily 4v4s. My 4v4 team won a major LLD tournament from that other side and won 40 hrs for the team. Alot of the ladder LLDs hated my Cleric and 101 banned Holy Bolt when I tried to join a team Arena. There was talk of disqualifying two Hdins who ran off screen to use Holy Bolt to heal each other but I remember they got disqualified because it was argued they ran to heal, unlike my Cleric who I always made sure to be on screen and in the fray when healing teammates.
In 2009, I ended up getting an Ebug Cruel Legend Sword and made another attempt on becoming #1 MLD by remaking my conc barb. I never got another Ebug Arreats, and I didn't finish his inven. Feannor had quit and MLD was dead, so he too got sold (this time for FG which I used to get magic cards on the Donors Forum),
I ended up quitting and coming in here and there, normally for just a few months at a time. I'll make a LLD, get bored, quit, come back, rinse/repeat. Nothing in D2 tends to hold my interest long enough.
My two major accomplishments were being #1 MLD for a time and getting a skill banned at 101.
